Fuel shortages + rampaging biker gangs=Apocalypse. Simple as that.
Along with a fantastic opening police chase sequence, 1979’s Mad Max features a nice black ride. The Pursuit Special:
Max’s GT351 limited version of a 1973 Ford XB Falcon Hardtop. The car was modified by Murray Smith, Peter Arcadipane and Ray Beckerley. Murray Smith bought the car back before filming of the sequel, The Road Warrior began, and after being left in a wrecking yard, the car was bought and restored and resides at Cars of the Stars Motor Museum in Cumbria, England.
